2 I remember a good life with clear rulesI remember a good life with clear rules. The sixties was the end of my childhood and the start of my teens was a gap, we moved. I was 13. I attended a high school that was 40 km from my home.We lived in a small town and there wasn’t a secondary school yet. I took the train every morning at 6h30. We would eat at my gand-parents house on sundays , it wasn’t far away. We were very close. Our only activities were fishing and foraging for « cepes » in autumn. In summer we would go away for a few days , never for a long time, to the seaside near Royan, we stayed in a house that was damaged by the war or we would go to my grand-parents.
